2014 CPAK PRESENTERS

Dr. Amit Goswami, Ph.D.

Professor of theoretical nuclear physics (retired) at the University of Oregon where he served since 1968. He is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called “science within consciousness,” an idea he explicated in his seminal book, The Self-Aware Universe, where he also solved the quantum measurement problem elucidating the famous observer effect.

Goswami has written several other popular books based on his research on quantum physics and consciousness. In The Visionary Window, he demonstrated how science and spirituality could be integrated. In Physics of the Soul, Goswami developed a theory of survival after death and reincarnation. His book Quantum Creativity is a tour de force instruction in how one might engage in both outer and inner creativity. Goswami’s book, The Quantum Doctor, integrates both conventional and alternative medicine. In Creative Evolution, Goswami presented a resolution between Darwinism and the intelligent design of life. In God is Not Dead, Goswami demonstrated that not only are science and religion compatible, but that quantum physics proves the existence of God.

Challenging us to utilize the transformative power of quantum physics to change ourselves and our social institutions, Goswami in How Quantum Activism Can Save Civilization guides us into a solution space of the new quantum science based on the primacy of consciousness to broach problems stemming from materialism, such as economic meltdowns, terrorism, and global warming.

In his most recent book, Quantum Creativity: Think Quantum, Be Creative (March, 2014), Goswami explains all facets of creativity—its definition, the quantum thinking it entails, and what is required to be creative. Most interestingly, Goswami says, “Every human being has creative potential, and grasping the quantum process—do-be-do-be-do—will help everyone to explore his or her creative potential.”

In his private life, Goswami is a practitioner of spirituality and transformation. He calls himself a quantum activist. He appeared in the film “What the Bleep Do We Know!?” and its sequel “Down the Rabbit Hole,” and in the documentaries the “Dalai Lama Renaissance” and the award winning “The Quantum Activist.”

Craig Marshall

A yoga monk with Self-Realization Fellowship for 35 years. Yet, his story began at age 17, when his interest in Eastern sages and Western saints took him to Egypt, Greece and India to photograph ancient archeological sites and interview researchers. He produced videos on the mysteries of Macchu Picchu, Teotihuacan, Luxor and Delphi. As Swami Mitrananda, he became an international public speaker and mentor to many well-known truth seekers, including Beatle George Harrison. Craig’s class explores the timeless science of intuition. He demonstrates how adepts of all ages transcended mental limitations through scientific meditation practices.

Amish Shah

Who would have thought that one man’s childhood obsession could turn into his lifelong mission? Years ago, when other kids were busy with Gameboys and skateboards, a young Amish Shah spent much of his time absorbing books and documentaries on ancient civilizations.

Today, as the founder of the Ancient Explorers movement, Amish leads a global online community of avid adventurers in the exploration (and subsequent public revelation) of buried secrets, ancient wisdom and forgotten technology hidden within earth’s most mysterious historical hotspots.

His most recent mission? An internet film on the sunken city of Dwarka, India, revealing evidence of earth’s oldest civilization… and proof of technology so advanced, it may force mankind to rewrite our history books.

Early in his career, Amish earned a spot on the Inc. 500 list by founding and selling several successful online advertising and technology companies. He now applies his community-building skills to not only galvanize the Ancient Explorers movement, but also to found the Shah Education and Exploration Foundation (SEEF): a complementary nonprofit that empowers and educates the communities surrounding important historical locations.

Through the Ancient Explorers, Amish’s ultimate goal is to shape humanity’s future for the better, by understanding the wisdom of the past.

Brad Yoon

Plato’s account of the lost city, continent, and civilization of Atlantis, set forth in the Critias and Timaeus dialogues, makes several controversial claims. First, that there existed an advanced civilization possessing the arts of agriculture, metallurgy, and written language predating all known civilizations of equal complexity by 10,000 years. Secondly, that this civilization was destroyed with such violence and finality as to extinguish virtually all traces of its existence. Third, that the Earth is struck by recurring cycles of destruction at long intervals apart. If Plato were to be vindicated, the implications would be far-reaching in nearly every field of knowledge. Join me in a journey to a land now submerged beneath oceans miles deep, but which once beheld the light of the sun, pouring forth infinite abundance…to a land before time, to Atlantis.

Brad Yoon is a software engineer in the healthcare sector and co-founder of a mobile application development business. Yoon, while attending university, took general education courses in anthropology and political philosophy that reawakened his fascination with the mysteries of our past. He is also an amateur scientist with special interests in underwater archaeology, ancient mythology and literature, and Greek science and mathematics.

Hugh Newman

In his lecture, founder of Megalithomania and ancient sites explorer Hugh Newman, reveals how recent discoveries in Britain are confirming what Prof. Alexander Thom said all along – that stone circles are astronomically aligned, are part of a greater geodetic survey, encode sophisticated measurement systems, and were built using advanced geometry. Over 1000 stone circles have been recorded in Britain, but sites such as Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Carahunge in Armenia, and Msoura in Morocco, are rewriting the dating and origins of the stone circle builders. We will take a look at who may have built them, and why. The purpose of stone circles will also come under the spotlight in this presentation, as subtle earth energies, underground water, and unusual geology, as recorded by previous CPAK speaker John Burke, have been detected at these sites. Hugh will also look at the early theories, interpretations, folklore, and effects these circles have had on antiquarians, artists and researchers since they were put back in the spotlight by John Aubrey and William Stukeley in the 1600′s and 1700′s, with some of their early insights now being confirmed by modern science.

Hugh Newman is an author, speaker, world explorer, tour host, and co-founded Megalithomania conferences and tours. As an author he has researched the Indigo child phenomenon and published a book on the subject. His most recent book, Earth Grids has been published by Wooden Books. He has released numerous DVDs of his multi-media presentations. He has articles published in the Leyhunter, Mindscape Magazine, World Explorer Magazine, the Circular, the Spiral, the Heretic, New Dawn (Australia) and numerous other publications. He has spoken at events in the UK, Malta, France, Peru, Egypt, Bosnia, Australia, South Africa, Mexico and North America. He has appeared on BBC TV, Sky Channel 200, Bosnian TV and the History Channel in the last three seasons of Ancient Aliens (that is currently being aired on History 2).

Marie D. Jones

In her new book, Viral Mythology, popular scholar and author Marie D. Jones reveals the fascinating phenomenon of “archeoenigmas”, which are ancient images, stories and symbols that impart metaphysical truths and scientific information. Hidden within the art, the song, the texts and the built structures of ancient times is a vast treasure chest of wisdom that is as relevant today as it was eons ago.

Marie has an extensive background in metaphysics, cutting edge science and the paranormal and has worked as a field investigator for MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) in Los Angeles and San Diego in the 1980s and 1990s. She currently serves as a Consultant and Director of Special Projects for ARPAST, the Arkansas Paranormal and Anomalous Studies Team, where she works with ARPAST President Larry Flaxman to develop theories that can be tested in the field.

Dr. Dean Radin

Is it possible that some of the superpowers described in ancient legends, science fiction, and comic books are actually real, and patiently waiting for us behind the scenes? Are we now poised for an evolutionary trigger to pull the switch and release our full potentials? Can yoga and meditation unleash our inherent supernormal mental powers, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition? Is it really possible to perceive another person’s thoughts and intentions? Influence objects with our minds? Envision future events?

Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and bestselling author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds, presents persuasive new experimental evidence for the existence of such phenomena. He takes us on a thrilling scientific journey and challenges outdated assumptions that these abilities are mere superstition. Focusing on Patanjali’s mysterious Yoga Sutras — 2,000 year-old meditation practices believed to release our extraordinary powers — Radin offers powerful evidence confirming that sometimes fact is much stranger, spookier, and more wonderful than the wildest fiction.
